Random Quick Tip!

Pretty Wood Collages
Keep some old magazines for kids to use to cut out pretty pictures and make collages with them gluing them to sanded pre made wood plaques then seal the collage with several coats of clear varnish. You will have a treasure that your kids made for years to come. During the holidays you could also do the same on wooden cut outs for Christmas Ornaments.
